The review of this Book prepared by Thomas Head

Jack Shandy, a simple puppeteer, seeks revenge and wealth on/from an evil uncle, but ends up becoming a pirate on the Caribbean seas. He falls in love with a woman doomed to be used in a powerful magical experiment. A lot of action and voodoo flying around, ship battles, and zombies everywhere.
